Resistor missed the opportunity to say “Please be careful, you have only one life, but Prague has multiple spare trams."
An important correction: Drivers are not ringing their bell in those hopeless situations. What happens is that when you apply a full brake on a tram, ring activates automatically. This is why you often hear the ring in situations where its use seems counterintuitive. It's merely a driver pulling break to the max level and the tram doing the rest ;)

@DavidMulderOne3 жыл бұрын
@@Thomas.Deverell Trams are indeed slightly heavier than big buses, but that can be easily accommodated with slower maximum speeds and adequate breaking solutions. Trams are absolutely a rare vehicle, in the czech republic there are less than 1500 trams versus 8 000 000 cars. In traffic in a lot of countries you have 'cars', 'cyclists' and 'pedestrians'. And that's giving people already a hard enough time. The idea that on a pedestrian crossing it's actually 'trams first' makes zero sense, as the entire idea of those is to give priority to pedestrians. If a tram wants to function like a train then it should just run on it's own tracks (rather than share the same road as the rest of traffic does). In Prague that's the case for most tracks and that's good, but inside the city center you have trams waiting for cars that wait for pedestrians on a pedestrian crossing, but if the car doesn't stop the way it legally should then suddenly the tram has priority.

@@drdewott9154 40 years of communism is not enough to delete culture and behavior of nation and completely change it, in 1989 when communism fell, people who remembered Austria-Hungary and first republic were still alive. 40 years is short time in whole history, but some damage was caused ofcourse. I think lights are respected on average level, not great not terrible, in southern europe, people don't respect it at all, we are somewhere between german-austrian behavior and east, but I would say more to west. And that stereotypical German who respects all laws is also only myth, people are very similar everywhere.

Decades ago as an Obnoxious Young 'Murican Pot Tourist in Amsterdam I tried to run diagonally across a crazy intersection of 2 tram lines & almost got sandwiched between 2 trams which appeared SO suddenly out of what seemed like Nowhere, requiring them both to slam on the brakes & ding their bells frantically (I had no idea where to even run to, I was in the middle of a spaghetti bowl of intersecting tracks & couldn't even figure out which way either tram was going). I've felt like quite a Fool for so long over that few seconds of Idiocracy - in much subsequent travels to Europe & elsewhere I learned to be a much better Guest. But seeing these video's of locals making similarly stupid moves on a daily basis put my mind at rest just a little - Thanks!

I very much liked the type of trams in the thumbnail as it seems like the perfect tram to me! Like, from an engineering standpoint, It's a proper tram with long carriages (so high-capacity), thus reduced junction points which may result in failure points AND also articulated bogies, therefore reducing the overall maintenence costs. Seems like the perfect combination to get the most out of ur bucks..😅

Ugh, that opening footage with the mannequin/dummy is so unsettling. I saw way too many close calls with trams when I lived there, and a few collisions (that were thankfully not fatal). Something like 2:01 happened to me, once, in the Netherlands, when I was travelling with a band. Our British tour manager was normally an excellent driver and attentive behind the wheel, but the band were distracting him, and he absent-mindedly tried to pass a stopped tram on its left (British instinct, I suppose), at the same moment that another tram he couldn't initially see was approaching the station towards us. He managed to _just_ squeeze through between the noses of the two trams as both rang their bells and pedestrians all around shouted at us. It was a nerve-wracking moment.
